The documentary ‘March of the Penguins” directed by Luc Jacquet and the computerised animation Happy Feet directed by George Miller are similar in many ways. In both films the theme love has been portrayed through many film and language techniques. In Happy Feet the penguins are taught to find their heart song, so when they grow up they find a mate and fall in love. “The penguins will meet each other by singing.” The narrator said this in the beginning of the film and it reinforces that penguins must find and sing their heart song to find a mate. Full shot has been used to show Mumble’s body language as he was trying to sing.
The short story “The Cranes” written by Peter Meinke brings readers tangled feelings of romance, simplicity and sadness. An elderly couple sits bird watching, solemnly recapping what their world has become. All the while Meinke uses subtle imagery of cranes to portray the inner-feelings of the elderly couple and their eventual departure from the world.

In the beginning of “A Night Ride on a Prairie Schooner”, the author used figurative and descriptive language when describing the crying boy with a limp entering “The Big Prairie” with his family. The boy was described as dressing alike as his father, blue shirt and blue denim jeans, which made him appear like he wanted to look older. As the wagon the boy rode in was moving on he listened to things like crickets chirping, the clicking of the wheels, and he watched the sky go dark while he counted the stars as they appeared. When his family entered the woods he became very aware of his surroundings, listening to the hooting of owls and the sound of night birds flying around. As he fell asleep he was described as hearing “the creak of

The next four lines of the poem describe the love as changing to cold or unyielding care for the nymph and the shepherd.
